Domestic Flights Thailand

Take a flight to a country where your money will go a long way. Head to Southern Asia to find out why Thailand is such a popular tourist destination. It is a land of natural beauty; from its intricately detailed temples to its hundreds of iridescent beaches. Be prepared to be humbled and enlightened when travelling to the breath-taking islands and cities Thailand has to offer us.

Scattered along the Southern coast are hundreds of Islands of pure paradise, they are overflowing with secluded long white sand beaches, coral reefs to explore and a sun worshiper’s heaven. Lots of the Islands are only accessible by Ferry or Long Tail Boat.

Make sure you experience on of Thailand’s best known parties- The Full Moon Party located at Koh Pha Ngan.

Heading North you will discover wildlife at its prime and peaking mountains like you have only ever seen on postcards; beast your way through the glowing green rainforests with the elephants, trek to the hill tribe villages of pure real culture or soak up all the delicious green vegetation wandering through the wild.

If that hasn’t got you sold the Thai cuisine is second to none and is something to be experienced. You can even attend a Thai cookery school to bring the magic taste home with you. Glide through the floating markets to buy a taste of these treats, spices galore and a souvenir or two.

When is the best time to book?

Thailand’s busiest season is between November and February which means prices can be higher due to its perfect temperatures and clear skies. Always search a few websites to find the best prices and comparison sights.
